I soon will have an open spot, and will hopefully get to play test your map. I'll chime in with my own thoughts later once that is going on, and then if there is a general consenus among quite a few people some changes can be implemented.

My main concern is with Summerset isle and thorn being three. they seem to be captured very easily, and consistently. Plus its not too difficult to take summerset isle's embassy, making that a bonus of 5

ok i wanna tell u now, this is one of the best maps that came out, love the embassy idea its a nice touch, the colors are well done, u can easily see the country bonuses and tell which colors they are, the whole thing has a great look to it,
i give it 2 thumbs up great job.

Hmm. It is true that that's how the one game I've played in on that map went: one player got Summerset and its embassy early on, had a strong lead for most of the game, and ultimately won. Dunno if this really means anything, but it's more anecdotal evidence, at least.

Curiously, in my first game there (still playing), I got Summerset Island, and I started already with its embassy... It can happens too... If I would need take it, it will be very hard. Anyway, if yellow continent has a embassy, because of its central position, we always will have guys talking that its easy take that country... Of course, it could be a embassy of a more difficult continent... but not now, I want win first.
